This is another game by the excellent Atlas Games, written by Robin Laws.
This is a competative Roleplaying game that actually has a winner at the end
of the session, not only that but every body takes turns being the GM. This
provokes all sorts of one upmanship and kill stealing. I was involved in playtesting
this little beauty and enjoyed every minute of it.

Rune Encounter Exchange

Here, with the permission and support of Atlas Games, I shall post encounters
for your Rune games. Contributions, not only welcome, but they are necassary.
Please send your encounters in .RTF form and your maps as either .GIFS or .JPGS.

Check back regularly and download an encounter for your next Rune game. Check
with your fellow Vikings which encounters they are using (each will have a descriptive,
yet vague title) so that you don't all turn up with the same one. No peeking,
cheating is the act of a true servant of Loki!

Send your encounters here,
be sure too include your name in the email, the Gods of Asgard will be keeping
a tally of those who have aided the fight against Loki. Your award will surely
be more than a warm fuzzy feeling. If you could include a sentence or two as
a summary of the encounter including whether it is a Cushion or Plot encounter.
If for any reason the link above does not work then send the encounter to jen-dave@blewer.fsworld.co.uk

Finally, although I will be stalwart and diligent, I cannot garauntee that
Loki's gremlins will not change some of the content of these encounters. Neither
I, nor Atlas Games can be held responsible for inapropriate content.

Important News: Atlas Games have agreed that any encounter series sent
into the exchange will net the Viking that sends it 50 Victory Points.
Truly are that small valiant band known as Atlas Games worthy of the title Viking.

Cushion Encounters

A Test
of Viking Virtueby Michelle
A. Brown Nephew: Synopsis: A cushion encounter set in the
Underground ... While exploring the passages of the Underground, you stumble
into a place holy to the gods; here you will be tested by Tyr in a Trial by
Justice that requires an act of spectacular suffering, by Thor in a Trial by
Combat that pits you against a divine wendol, and by Odin in a Trial by Wisdom
that tests your knowledge of the epic poem Beowulf. (Link

Goodies Galore by Michelle A.
Brown Nephew: Synopsis: An Intoductory cushion encounter set
in the Underground ... An ambush by devious goblins sends your horde tumbling
down into a fissure, where you find a magnificent treasure resting at the bottom
of an underground lake; when you risk life and limb to retrieve the treasure,
you trigger an invisible barrier that covers the surface of the lake, trapping
you and your fellow warriors beneath watery depths! (Link to a .PDF document)
